It lets you add a little creative layer-like flare to your shots before moving on to sharing or editing further in applications like Photoshop. This tool, which you can add multiple times through your file(s), gives you some localized control over color and exposure adjustments to your file.

Processed in Lightroom and Exported in Photoshop Processed in Nikon NX Studio and Exported in PhotoshopĪnother nice touch is the Color Control Point tool Nikon included, which is a lovely throwback to the NIK Software days, and a solid bonus to see. For Nikon shooters, if you want to get the absolute best out of the colors & detail from your RAW files, incorporating NX Studio into your workflow should definitely be a part of your plan. I did some quick testing with a flat raw file by exporting it (flat) from Adobe Lightroom to Photoshop and saving it as a JPG versus doing the same but with NX Studio, and as you can see below, the NX Studio file actually does have a more vibrant & sharper image to work with than the Adobe RAW processed file. The tools should be familiar to anyone who has used a RAW processor before: white balance, exposure, sharpness, active D-lighting, noise reduction, LCH/Chroma and Color Booster adjustments, and even a Color Control Point tool - more on that in a moment.įor the most part, if you’re familiar with Adobe Lightroom, the layout, workflow, and tools in Nikon Studio NX all worked in a way that was pretty much in line with what you would expect. Additionally, keep in mind this is a version 1.0 and updates/improvements will come.

It’s not perfect by any stretch and far from industry-leading, but for a free application, it’s actually pretty robust.

Included are options to transfer your files (edited or even RAW) directly to Nikon Image Space or YouTube, effectively speeding up your sharing workflow should you choose to take advantage of the features.Īs far as file support goes, the application can load up any existing RAW file from any Nikon digital camera dating back to the 1990s and will support any new file coming from future cameras on the day they’re available to the public.Īs for its processing feel of the workflow, it’s actually not that bad. In particular, most of the menu and tools are labeled to match the naming and order you would find in your Nikon camera’s menus, a choice that is designed to theoretically give a more comfortable experience for Nikon users. The NX Studio application’s layout should be familiar (mostly) to anyone who’s used ViewNX or Capture ND along with some similar layout options you’ll find in the other big-name RAW processors out there.Ĭompared strictly to the previous ViewNX and Capture family of apps, NX Studio has a much-improved menu layout that provides an easier interface for importing, sorting, and performing basic edits of your raw photos and videos than in previous Nikon applications.
